LaAdrian Waddle was one of the most surprising stories from Detroit Lions training camp. The undrafted prospect out of Texas Tech earned his way on to the roster, even making a serious run at the starting right tackle job with his strong performance during the preseason.

Waddle has been on the active game-day roster most of the season, but it wasn't until Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals that the rookie made his debut on offense, filling in for injured tackles Riley Reiff and Corey Hilliard.

In all, Waddle was on the field for 43 snaps. Here's the quick breakdown:

I watched every play three times and Waddle successfully completed his assignment on 23 of his 29 snaps on the left side and 12 of 14 snaps at right tackle.

Below are some of the positive and negative moments.

On his very first snap, the Lions ran Reggie Bush off right guard and Waddle was asked to pull. He came through the hole between Larry Warford and Hilliard, delivering a punishing block on linebacker Vontaze Burfict. The play resulted in a seven-yard gain.

Waddle's first mistake came on his eighth snap. On a 1st-and-10 play, the Lions attempted to run Bush up the middle. Waddle whiffed trying to block defensive end Michael Johnson, who was able to come across the line and drop Bush for a one-yard gain with the help of Burfict (who was credited with the solo tackle).

Waddle had some trouble with Johnson in pass protection as well. The rookie got away with a hold on the play below when he hooked Johnson around the neck after the defensive end got past him on the outside. This came one play after Johnson overpowered Waddle with a bull rush into the pocket, forcing an incompletion.

Waddle only gave up one quarterback hit, but it was a bad one. The Bengals had a second defender come free on a blitz, so Matthew Stafford was sandwiched on the play.

Waddle also surrendered two quarterback pressures while on the right side.

No sacks, two pressures and a quarterback hit on 30 snaps of pass protection is shaky. As Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said during a conference call earlier this season, "Any time you are an offensive lineman and you win 36 and lose four, you stink."

On a positive note, Waddle deserves some praise for one of the Lions' key plays. On the 43-yard pass to Kevin Ogletree that converted a 3rd-and-20 in the third quarter, Waddle held his block for 3.4 seconds, helping give Stafford a clean pocket long enough for the play to develop.

Also, on Calvin Johnson's 50-yard touchdown, Stafford faced pass-rush pressure, but it wasn't from Waddle's side. The rookie held his block on the play.
